package

(this project is a work in progress, still in alpha state)

CLI interface and Python package to parse and validate CODEOWNERS files used by GitHub and GitLab (not tested with BitBucket yet).

Each CLI command tries to follow Unix's philosophy of "Do one thing and do it well".

The commands mimic the interface of well-known tools like grep, ls, git ls-files. The very name of the project is a reference to chown.

Motivation

Why build yet another project instead of contributing to an existing one? There are other code owners tools, but none of them had all the features I'd like to use.

Below are alternatives to cdown with some of their features.

To the creators of these tools: thanks for the inspiration!

Repository	Language	Features
beaugunderson/codeowners	JavaScript	Print files and its owners List unowned files Verify users/teams own a specific path
mszostok/codeowners-validator	Go	Validator GitHub action Runs on Docker
toptal/codeowners-checker	Ruby	List all the changes grouped by an owner Filter changes by owner
hmarr/codeowners	Go	Homebrew Filter results by owner Limit the files the tool looks at
hairyhenderson/go-codeowners	Go	Go package without a CLI interface
timoschinkel/codeowners	PHP	PHP package without a CLI interface

Development

To run all the tests run:

tox

Note, to combine the coverage data from all the tox environments run:

Windows	set PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox
Other	PYTEST_ADDOPTS=--cov-append tox
